There have been Shell cars that were Yellow with Red trim that looked ok, but this one looked just strange. The bottom front looked brown/maroon and I couldn't tell if it was that color or red lite funny with the lights.
I like the #2 car in gold, they should keep that all year, you can find it anywhere in the pack.

How come Jeff Burton is still in Cingular colours? Thought that was kicked out by Nextell bully's. Maybe because this was not a Nextel cup race?

It does look a little weird, but people will get used to it. I hate to see the Goodwrench colors go, but Harvick does have his own sponsor now and his own legacy.

I'd like to see it rotate between Blue miller lite, Black Miller Genuine Draft, and Gold for Miller High Life

I thought Harvicks car was cool, the front of the livery could be alot better, but the one good thing is that you can't miss his car.

I do miss the black and silver, but the car is still better then more than half the cars right now

It doesn't look too bad, however the Pennzoil yellow and the Shell yellow are a bit different, and looks a little strange together (rear bar). Definetly better than the COT car they unveiled the sponsership with.

I didnt mind the old DEI pennzoil #1 car. looked cool. but its the addition of the red just doesnt do it for me. Of course the legacy of the car is really the biggest issue. Finally that era has ended.

I like the new Pennzoil car because it has high visibility. :D
The gold Miller car looked awesome even though I much prefer the old black Miller Genuine Draft colors. :D

It's the dark red, it doesn't go with brite yellow, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern/logic to pattern, like they took the front clip off another car as quick repair.

the front looks horrible, it should be more agressive looking like the 06 GM Goodwrench livery

I think it's the perfect livery for night races... provided a failure of the lighting system.

Harvick doesnt look nearly as bad as Michael's fake chrome wheels!

i like harvicks paint scheme, and i love the lines on the monte carlo's front end and hood. i absolutely agree with the chrome wheels though, that is the gayest thing ever. The toyota nose decaling and grille is hot though. I wouldn't worry about the 55 being ugly, we won't be seeing much of it

You don't think that was real chrome on the steel wheels? ;-)

i could car less if the wheels were fake, they looked really cool. mad those cars really stand out. the chrome is likely also an homage to Darrell Waltrip's chrome helmet and paint schemes from the end of his career. i alwways wondered why the chrome wheels disappeared in the late 80s, abou time someone brought them back.

red and yellow can look good together, but the harvick car doesn't. this is a good looking red and yellow car

That would be because NASCAR outlawed true chrome wheels back in the early 90's (something about not being strong enough)...

I liked Harvick's paint scheme...It's gonna take some getting used to....
I still wear my Goodwrench hat, but it might be time to buy a new jacket and a couple of t-shirts before I head off to Darlington in May
